The windows are casements, with those on the ground floor to the right, left, and far left having segmental heads. Number 1, on the right, is two bays wide, featuring a storey band in its left-hand bay, and a door on the left side. Number 2, in the centre, has a door to the right. Number 3, on the left, has a central door.
